Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

Mine is never less than 120 & often my highest number all day. I just roll with it.

I, also have high fasting numbers, usually 30-40 points than the previous evening. I am trying to get these under control, losing weight is probably the best way, but that is easier said than done! So, don't be too concerned, it's just how your body works. Also, my diabetes educator would love your numbers if they consistently hover around 100. That's the goal.

I worry about this too. Trying to keep it under 100, but often it is bwtween 120 and 145, then drops during the day. I wondered if I ought to take my medication later in the day? I take it once per day.

I know the goal is different when you have diabetes, but since below 100 is the FS level desirable for the general public, I want to be there too, doggone it.
